Week of: Life

This week has FLOWN by. Seriously, where did it go? We managed to do a few lessons almost every day but did nothing for our theme week. Even though it was fine and we accomplished what we "needed" to accomplish, I feel that I need to get more organized with our themes. We did start to read our next Magic Tree House book about Dinosaurs. Next week I have a bunch planned to go with our Dinosaur/Volcano theme. Perhaps that is an odd combination, but there are volcanoes on the cover of the MTH book, so of course Charlie wanted to study them as well. :)

The weather has been gorgeous here, 50 and higher. So, the boys have also spent a great deal of time in our mud pit backyard. We have also taken a few walks around the neighborhood. It has been such a welcomed change to get.out.of.the.house!

Besides our lessons, celebrating Valentines Day, doctors appointments and the girls over 2 days this week, we spent a good deal of time just doing everyday stuff around here. Organizing, throwing things out, playing, laughing, planning Tommy's bday party, and spending time together. So, this week our official theme was: LIFE.

About Me

Life seems to be flying by, especially since having the guys! Everyday they say or do something that just tugs at our heart, amazes us or even brings us(me) to tears! We want to remember it all!! We want to remember all the fun we had, all the messy fingers, and yes, even the hard times! God has truly blessed us with a wonderful family, amazing children, and each other! How grateful are we!? So here goes trying "remember"!
